After a fantastic event like JamBallahNW wraps up, the best place for a designer to go (mentally) is a mood board. Every designer/artist has their creative process, and for me sometimes it is to create colorful fantasy lands that I’d love to live in.

I look for vivid, impactful images in colors that don’t represent the palate of what you might have seen in the #Sakkara booth, and then I happily geek out by arranging them just so. The benefit to playing with different color combos, and imagining life in the Flame & Ocean world, is that sparks will ignite towards new designs.

It’s no secret that I love clothes and everything about designing them. The fabrics, technique, and the awesome people I’ve worked with along the way…it’s all very exciting. Despite the hard work and inevitable bumps that are a part of being self-employed, it’s the passion for a great garment and a happy wearer that keeps this party going. Whoo hoo!

So, what started this whole love affair with clothing and design? I hope you will enjoy this multi-part blog about how it all began.

It’s time to start thinking about Reigning Down on Oregon, because it’ll be here before we know it! So, what’s RDOO?

A blurb from their website sums up the event nicely:

Do you like dancing? Do you like music? Do you like to eat, drink and be merry? Do you love to laugh? Do you enjoy spending time with your friends and family doing what you love? Well then, look no further! The sixth year of Reigning Down on Oregon is here!

We’ve got a jam-packed retreat in store for you and we are so excited to head into the woods for our sixth year of art, friendship and fun in our wooded sanctuary of West Salem.

Sakkara Clothing & Costume will be there to kick off our Pacific Northwest vending tour! Since this is one of our first events of the season, you can expect a great selection, beautiful new products, and focused, personal service.

Do take a moment and check out the RDOO website. They may have a few spaces still open (and it’s super affordable). Come join us in the woods!

We’re so excited this is coming up! Have you got your tix yet? 3rd Coast Tribal is the largest tribal belly dance festival in the central USA. We want to see you there!

Come on out. The vibe is welcoming and fun. There are plenty of kickass teachers to study with, and wonderful evening shows to occupy your dreams! Top it all off with excellent, on-site restaurants and great shopping, and you’ve got an event that combats the post-holiday slump.

We’ll be there. Wanna know what we’re hauling in our vardo? Lots of fabulous things like the new Lux Skirt, Deluxe Ruffle Pants, plenty of our new tops and more! We’ll try to pack every length and size that we can for you, but if you have any special requests please let us know! Save on shipping fees and save more time for your dance by pre-ordering. Details will be posted soon on the 3rd Coast event invite or email info@sakkaraclothing.com.

Come see what The Verdant Muse and Sakkara Clothing & Costume have cooked up for you, excited event-goer! We will be vending Thursday-Sunday with an array of handmade delectables sure to tempt your inner magpie.

Here comes one of our most favorite events of the year. Reigning is a fun and relaxing retreat in a forest setting. Enjoy workshops by many talented instructors, evening shows and parties, and vending from a variety of artists and importers. Plus, we hear this year there will be FOOD CARTS tempting you with yummy noms. Hope to see you there!
